Hallyu actress Jang Na-ra will costar with actor Shin Ha-kyun on MBC’s upcoming television rom-com “Mr. Baek,” the broadcaster confirmed on Friday.

The 33-year-old actress will play Eun Ha-soo, the penniless but warm-hearted heroine who struggles to find a job. Not long before she starts at her first-ever job, she encounters a young man who has never been in true love, played by Shin. In fact, the man is a business tycoon in 70s, who had an accident one day and, to his surprise, turned into a young man in his 30s.

The Wednesday-Thursday rom-com will launch in November, only two months after Jang starred in “Fated to Love You,” another MBC rom-com about a humble girl who marries a business tycoon.
